199: Chapter 197: Can We Still Salvage It? 199: Chapter 197: Can We Still Salvage It? “Cough cough!!!” Baili An coughed as if his heart was being ripped apart, his face so pale it was nearly transparent, and the blood around his lips was red enough to hurt one’s eyes, making Lin Yuan’s heart leap in fear, her palms trembling severely. Her trembling hands were suddenly covered by a pair of ice-cold ones. Baili An tightly gripped her hand, choking on his coughs, constantly vomiting, unable to utter a single word. Lin Yuan also gripped his hand tightly. Through the trembling and convulsing of their palms, she could deeply and clearly feel the pain he was enduring at this moment. Outside the window, the night-watchman’s calls startled the night sky, and the scent of fresh blood spread through the air. The warmth in Lin Yuan’s palm was so comforting; it seemed that by clinging to this last bit of warmth from the Mortal World, he would not fall back into the Netherworld again. Fang Geyu remained silent, her lips pressed tightly together, her face devoid of any color. She turned her treasure bag upside down, and countless Spirit Pills and spiritual treasures cascaded out like a little mountain. Quickly sorting through the pile, she found a Jade Box. Upon opening the small box, a dense and pure white fog immediately began to dissipate. This dense white fog was more than mere illusory mist; it was the embodiment of Spiritual Power from heaven and earth, a tangible mist that could boost one’s cultivation by ten years with a single breath. Yet this dense white fog was merely used to preserve the item within the box. Lin Yuan saw the intricate White Jade Cloud Pill within the box and her expression changed drastically, “Is this the Taibai Pill from Shifang City? I remember it’s the Seven Treasures Elixir your mother left for you for transcending tribulation, an ancient and rare Immortal Pill that even Immortals struggle to find.” It is said that when Immortals practiced Alchemy, their creations circulated throughout the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and the elixirs were divided into ten treasures. Upon reaching the realm of one treasure, it is called a Spirit Pill, Anything above the realm of five treasures is a precious elixir that even Immortals find difficult to obtain. A Seven Treasures Elixir is a legendary rare treasure only eligible for a Golden Immortal to consume. Transcending tribulation is a matter of life and death, but possessing this pill could increase one’s chances of success by a whole fifty percent. And once one transcends and becomes an Immortal, their status would undoubtedly not stoop beneath that of the three thousand-year-old Immortals in the Mortal World today. Such a treasure, and she took it out without a moment’s hesitation. Lin Yuan looked at Fang Geyu in shock. She thought, do you even realize what you’re giving up?! Taking out the White Jade Cloud Pill, Fang Geyu’s eyes shone with a bright and determined light, free from any hesitation… She shoved it into his blood-filled mouth, not gentle or graceful, forcibly grasping his chin. Deeming it insufficient that he swallowed it on his own, her slender fingers plunged deep into Baili An’s throat, forcibly stuffing the Immortal Pill down. The speed was so swift, Lin Yuan didn’t have time to stop her, only to see her pale fingers force the object down his throat, compelling him to swallow, then withdrawing blood-red. After that, Baili An couldn’t even cough. Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with concern for Baili An’s safety, yet she couldn’t help but become distracted. She caught sight of Fang Geyu, who was gasping for breath from merely feeding an elixir. It seemed she was also scared by Baili An’s current state. In the agony of her desperate situation, she chose not to pick the right medicine but the most expensive and best one. Stuffing it directly, without even a sip of water to help it go down. This was truly raising wastefulness to an art form. Fang Geyu then wiped the sweat from her brow, seemingly relieved. Lin Yuan looked at Baili An, fraught with worry, and said, “Geyu, you’ve fed him an Immortal Pill.” Fang Geyu replied, “I know, although the Immortal Pill is expensive, it can save lives, so don’t mention it, I don’t mind.” Lin Yuan continued, “It can save lives, but you fed a corpse demon, and corpse demons have no life force to extend. To him, this Immortal Pill is no different from eating a sour grape; it won’t make much difference. And earlier, you didn’t even crush it, shoving such a large pill in, I’m afraid it’s blocking him from coughing up the poison.” In fact, Fang Geyu’s expression had already changed in the midst of Lin Yuan’s statement. She pinched Baili An’s cheek, and her two fingers delved back into his bloody mouth. Looking earnestly with a tense little face, she asked, “Do you think I can still fetch it out now?” Before Lin Yuan could answer, Baili An, with a hoarse and weak voice, said, “Earlier, you poked too fiercely, too deep. I’ve already swallowed it, it’s okay. I have no digestive capability. If you now want to retrieve the pill, you can take it from my stomach. The incision is already made, just extract it directly.” Lin Yuan: “…” Fang Geyu: “…” How could one possibly do such a thing? Such a cruel act. Fang Geyu’s hands scraped the ground restlessly like a cat’s paws. Lin Yuan was about to speak, thinking she was worried about the waste of not being able to retrieve the Immortal Pill. But Fang Geyu suddenly punched the floor! In an intimidating tone, she said harshly, “Why eat something that makes no sense! I don’t believe that if the people of Xianling City capture me they can really kill me with a single cut. Now that even the Seven Treasures Elixir my mother left behind can’t save you, just wait to meet King Yama!” Baili An felt that this time, the healing power he had plundered from the Shebi Corpse lost its effect; not only was there no sign that the gash in his chest and abdomen was healing, but the blood pouring from within surged more intensely. His body was terribly cold, he clung to Lin Yuan’s hand, drawing in that bit of warmth from another person, striving to keep his thoughts clear. He said, “Fang Geyu, listen to me first, the fragment you stole is not the real Reincarnation fragment.” As Fang Geyu flipped out a dagger and started cutting towards her wrist, she snapped angrily, “I know! I know that already! If it were the real Reincarnation fragment, how could it contain such deadly poison? I know I was foolish, falling into someone else’s trap! But no matter how foolish, I cannot have gone through all of tonight’s ordeal without understanding anything! So, shut your mouth, I am going to feed you my blood! I’ll give you as much as you need! So don’t you dare die on me! Do you hear me?” She, Fang Geyu, hated being burdened by the lives of others the most! Baili An weakly smiled, “How can I drink blood with my mouth shut?” He reached out to stop Fang Geyu from cutting her wrist, his breath fragile as though gasping for survival. Yet Baili An’s gaze held a calmness that was nearly steadfast, “Stop harming yourself. If there was not a shred of certainty, I wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing. Rest assured, a man who has died once knows well how cold and frightening death is. I am very afraid, so I will not die.” His fingers lacked strength, but they managed to compel Fang Geyu to slowly put down the dagger. “Now listen carefully to what I am going to say.” Looking into his eyes, Fang Geyu knew doing nothing was very wrong, yet she uncharacteristically calmed down. Baili An may seem submissive and easy to bully on ordinary days, but Lin Yuan could see that he was not accustomed to relying on others, as if he had always been used to dealing with everything alone. Never having been gently treated by the passage of time, even living was cautious. It was as if he knew that there was no one behind him and he could not afford to fall. Because he knew, once he fell, with no one to support him, he would end up so injured that he would never be able to rise again. Stumbling on alone, enduring tough times nearly instinctively. Clearly, he was someone who could treat others very well, yet once he accepted kindness from others, he treasured it fearfully, as if receiving a precious treasure.
